Katamari Damacy Gun Collector Obama

A painting of US President Barack Obama as the Prince from the Playstation Katamari Damacy game, collecting all of the guns of the world on his Katamari ball as his father The King Of All Cosmos looks on.

This painting was recently purchased by a professor of computer science at Carnegie Mellon, who wondered if it was in response to President Obama's recent intention of employ executive action, independent of the will of Congress, to enact tougher gun registration. It wasn't. I had actually been thinking about this image for the past six years, and it was a request by Politico Magazine for the use of a number of images of past Obama paintings for possible use in their current 'The Obama Issue' which made me think of it.

Obama Hurricane Sandy Pancake art, as featured in a Politico slideshow. This was one of two similar paintings.
Perhaps I'll get around to that 'Obama Balloon Boy' painting I've been long thinking of as well.
